Missed the most important and coolest part! THE SPLICE SHOP! That is where all the magic happens! Capt. did a great job with the limited time that they have for these tours.
WOW! The basic cable part of it seems to not have changed much from the 1960's back when AT&T long Lines did this with coax. The navigation is so much more advanced though.
Just looking at this because it grabbed my attention. The captain really knows his ship, I hope his first officer is just as good. I bet this pays well.
Not as well as you might think. The cable we used in 1998 was $12/foot and up. Going across the Pacific that alone adds up quickly so they can't pay crew huge amounts. Still better than most land jobs, but not as much as a pure cargo vessel.
I was on a tour on the EEE class containership. In the office drawer of the captain, there was a tape on the edge with the text "Starboard = Right .. Port = Left"
wonderful. although I was hoping that laying subsea fibre would not have to be so complicated and expensive. do we need this type of the ship for shorter distance and seas like the Caribbean? I would love to install some high-speed cables between the islands and around the islands
Probably best to get in touch with the companies direct to ask, but my guess would be that you'd absolutely need this kind of ship to lay any kind of sub-sea cable...
I didn’t get who the tour group was. What company or country. From watching other videos I understand the basic process of cable laying and adding the repeater/amplifiers periodically as the cable pays out, so it was nice to see the layout of the ship itself. Good documentary.
It was in Sydney, Australia, and it was to do with the Hawaiki cable stretch from Australia and New Zealand through to the US via the Pacific Ocean and some Pacific Islands. See www.hawaiki.co.nz for more info.
That's a great video tour onboard cable laying vessel.. But I have a question, Is anyone here can give me some information of what is the duties and responsibilities of oiler inside cable laying vessel? Thanks in advance
I have questions for the workers on these vessels. I heard in the video that you work 12 hour shifts and I get that but what is a normal rotation per hitch? Is it a 28/28 schedule? Also, how well do they honor your time off and do they stick to a pretty strict crew change schedule? Are there any bonuses given to the workers? Also, how are the accommodations and meals?
I worked on the ships from 1998 to 2012. We usually did 4 months on, 2 off Except when circumstances changed. Returning to Baltimore from a project in the middle east, we were passing the Azores when the ship did a sharp U-turn and headed for France to do another project. That blew my planned time off, although some people did get off and others came on. Bonuses used to consist of a huge party for the crew when we finished a project but that has been phased out by the time I left. Usually 2 people to a room- bunk beds. One person is always working so you have the room to yourself for 12 hrs. Food varies from excellent to survivable depending on where supplies are picked up and the quality of the steward + cooks.
x1101126 depends on the system. I work for TE Subcom. its basically -1500 to -1750 DCv from shore to shore and powered from both ends. That systems is called the PFE.
Well you obviously did a great job for the ship to still be working hard over 15 years later :-) Humanity today has such great technology which we all take for granted. :-)
Does anyone know if the staff who work on this type of vessel can make voice or video phone calls? There is some guy who contacted me via a dating website. He claimed that he is working on a cable-laying vessel as a telecommunication engineer, therefore, he couldn't take my phone call because they have to hand in their own cell phones and ID; he can only text me using an encrypted device configured with his own sim card that he uses for work records and report. This sounds very fishy to me and also he mentioned he works six months on and 11 months off, which doesn't sound right also.
According to the site I’m linking below, it is 25 years. Great question! www.submarinenetworks.com/en/insights/what-happens-when-subsea-cables-reach-their-end-of-life
Robert Mick The grin is to cover their embarrassment for the idiot who made the comment. Women have to deal with this juvenile behavior by men everywhere they go, every single day of their lives.
Hi, this was taken two or three years ago - a while back, in any case. Also it’s tough to get the best angles on a live tour, I’m one of dozens of people on the tour - I wasn’t an official camera crew, the whole thing was done on an iPhone and a tripod. In these circumstances you just do the best you can. I will definitely make sure to slow down panning and if you look at my hundreds of videos I do always strive to get the best angles possible, but sometimes it’s just not possible to do make it perfect. So, I genuinely appreciate you taking the time to view the video, and for caring enough to comment, I will strive to do better in the future! :-)
The tall guy had secreat weapon beautiful girl in baby doll dress its clear group was there to look for weakness .girl in baby doll dress wiped them out going up them stairs lol
Michael Taylor Yeah, isn’t that something, Michael? An educated man talking with pride about his job, and your entire takeaway is the - hee-hee, snicker - leering and juvenile idiocy of porn. Let me guess, commission sales in a robocall center? Living in your parents house at 33?
Peter Yianilos I could be shoveling sewers with my bare hands and it'd be better than whatever you do, because life hasn't turned me into a bitter prude who can't take a joke.
Check the Submarine Cable Map of the globe. Australia lags by sheer lack of cables. Technology started around 150 years ago. I think one could trust this company.
As an Engineer by profession, I was dribbling at the mouth, with all that technology to play with, and if needs must, fix. However, I have to report that; it's a sh!t ship, as there is no coffee pot nor maker, on the bridge! 12 hour shifts, no problem but no coffee on the bridge? I feel a mutiny coming, Commander, or my name isn't Fletcher Christian!
Why didn't they show a film for these people so it's 100 percent better explained. These people will not understand what the reality of what the hack this guy telling them. That way they'd see the whole operation.
I was thinking the same thing. The captain should have shown the visitors the operation while it was working and in progress. Unless they were docked and not working at that time. Would be cool to see it in action.
I hate it when someone is filming something with a low performance video camera or phone and they're panning all over the place. At 24 fps it makes me want to barf.
I've bought a Gimbal. Video was recorded on iPhone 8 Plus at 1080P res, probably 30fps... I can up the quality though in the future. Apologies it wasn't better - I made the only recording of the event, so there's at least that... Anyway noted, and yes, I have a gimbal now and I will be using it.
@@AlexonTech ... It would have also been better to film the topic being discussed and leave the camera stationary for the duration of the topic rather than always swinging back to the captain. Most of the video was a bit of a waste due to nauseating fast panning, although the audio descriptions were very interesting.
@@sbalogh53 Hi Dexxter, I know what you mean. It was a moving tour around the ship, and back then, the iPhone didn't come with an ultra wide lens, and while I would have had the LG G5 and then G6, with, from memory, the G5 first to bring an ultra wide lens to the table, their video recording capability with the native app just wasn't as simple and reliable as an iPhone. So I was trying to capture the scene, capture the captain, show the things he was talking about and around him - like a camera man following the ball and the action on a sports field. There were several other people on the tour as you can see from the start of the video, and I was the only one with a smartphone and a tripod, and I always positioned myself so he could easily be seen, as he's the one giving the demo, and the inbuilt iPhone mics do a better job of recording audio that's in front of them, so I was doing the best I could at the time. I have hopefully improved since then! One of my most recent videos from last month on this channel is a soccer match that a friend was playing in, it was a training session but still a full soccer match. I've never filmed one before, and while you can see I made occasional mistakes with the zooming as the ball moved in a different direction too quickly, I learned to zoom out more as modern iPhone 12 Pro Maxes can do that, and zoom in too, with pretty amazing quality. Today, I would use the ultra wide lens and zoom in where needed for a wideshot when the captain is in a particular spot and talking about the things around him, and closer up footage of things when required, and I try to be as smooth as possible doing it, but it's live, and sometimes mistaken happen - but obviously I try to keep such things to a minimum. I like to think that any recording of an event is better than no recording, especially if no-one else is recording it, and video is the best of all - well, until we get 3D holographic video recordings or even 4D with some kind of sense and smell transmitter that stimulates your olfactory senses to trick your brain into smelling the smell, or feeling a sensation from the recording, although obviously dampened to a mere gentle tap when watching an action movie and the action here is fighting or cinematically crashing a car in a fast and furious way and then getting out of said crumpled car without a scratch, with a faint scent of diesel or gasoline in the air, before feeling a gentle version of the explosion that our hero is walking away from in a holographic projection. And then of course you'll just see it in your mind through some wireless brain interface that lets you interact with interactive virtual environments, which will bring William Gibson's Neuromancer-style online computing interfaces to life. Until then, the iPhone and Android smartphones are the way we connect, with AR on the way before any next-next-next-next-next-gen brain interfaces. I'm sorry the video wasn't filmed as smoothly as it could have been, I'd certainly love to take this tour again and learn what advances in sailing, cable laying and repair, onboard technology, faster satellite broadband and more have happened since 2017, and how they've handled COVID as well, and more. Anyway, always learning to do better, and it's always good to get feedback, and to reflect and act upon it. So thanks! Cheers, Alex

Captain surely loves his boat and very proud of her. 🍻🍻🍻🍻
Very nice presentation by captain, what a cable laying ship.... hope one day I will be on board this ship..for my company cable laying process.
Amazing how many cool types of ships there are in the world.

Can't wait for the Subspace Communications Ship Responder... ;)
Very cool tour, would be interesting to see the ship in action of laying cable.
Ross in Ontario there is a 1 hour show on The Tyco Resolute...I believe on The Discovery Channel.
Check out this documentary about repairing an actual cable, it's lengthy, but I found it worth the watch: th-cam.com/video/UnBRlXfYe18/w-d-xo.html
There is always a dymo over the plough monitors saying "boring is good"
Awsome!! Boy capitan really knows his shit, very impressed!! Regards, Rene. Sarasota, Florida

That captain showed enough energy, I’m sure, to run one of the ships thrusters!
Good to see this video good memories for me, I am participate when vessel commissioning during construction.
OMG the repeaters are large, I think they get power from extra cores in the Fibre Cable being Run..
The shells are made of beryllium. Scrap metal price of each one was around $100,000 last I looked.
I like this captain, sounds like an awesome guy I would trust!

Shit this job has come along way in 100yrs!
No question about that! :-)
Great video
Nobody bothered to ask how the repeaters were powered.
Repeaters are needed ever several hundred km and are powered by a center conductor in the cable.
The repeaters is powered by the cable itself. There is a DC power conductor near the center of the cable, you just send the power on terminal station.
x1101126 depends on the system. I work for TE Subcom. its basically -1500 to -1750 DCv from shore to shore and powered from both ends. That systems is called the PFE.
Hello. I am David _ fiber optic splicer. 12 year experience. I wish work on submarine
Does that mean all subsea cables were simply thrown over board, let the cable drop with gravity on the ocean bottom, and leave there unprotected?
I wondered how it was done as well, and it led me to watch this, which covered how it's done very well: th-cam.com/video/UnBRlXfYe18/w-d-xo.html
Who was the group that was touring? Bankers?
Excellent
Guess they could grapple cables and cut them... makes you wonder how vulnerable these cables are.

Looked like it might be interesting, but continued rapid video movement made me seasick. Some videography training might helpful
GeckoP: I believe it is likely that he was wearing a Gopro cam. Therefore video is dictated by his head movements.

Today, I would use the ultra wide lens and zoom in where needed for a wideshot when the captain is in a particular spot and talking about the things around him, and closer up footage of things when required, and I try to be as smooth as possible doing it, but it's live, and sometimes mistaken happen - but obviously I try to keep such things to a minimum.
I like to think that any recording of an event is better than no recording, especially if no-one else is recording it, and video is the best of all - well, until we get 3D holographic video recordings or even 4D with some kind of sense and smell transmitter that stimulates your olfactory senses to trick your brain into smelling the smell, or feeling a sensation from the recording, although obviously dampened to a mere gentle tap when watching an action movie and the action here is fighting or cinematically crashing a car in a fast and furious way and then getting out of said crumpled car without a scratch, with a faint scent of diesel or gasoline in the air, before feeling a gentle version of the explosion that our hero is walking away from in a holographic projection.
And then of course you'll just see it in your mind through some wireless brain interface that lets you interact with interactive virtual environments, which will bring William Gibson's Neuromancer-style online computing interfaces to life.
Until then, the iPhone and Android smartphones are the way we connect, with AR on the way before any next-next-next-next-next-gen brain interfaces. I'm sorry the video wasn't filmed as smoothly as it could have been, I'd certainly love to take this tour again and learn what advances in sailing, cable laying and repair, onboard technology, faster satellite broadband and more have happened since 2017, and how they've handled COVID as well, and more.
Anyway, always learning to do better, and it's always good to get feedback, and to reflect and act upon it. So thanks!
Cheers,
@@AlexonTech ... Wow! Thanks for the comprehensive answer. I do understand what you are saying and we all improve with experience. I agree that your video is certainly better than no video and I did learn a lot from this one. Thank you for letting us take part in the tour. :)

Ladies clothing and all the footwear hardly appropriate PPE for a working site and don't need a hard hat either on a working deck?
Duh 🙄
Probably the most astute and informative reply I’ve seen in all my years on TH-cam 😂🤣🤪
If you give the ship viagra does it become a pipe laying machine?
You'll have to ask the ship builders... :-)
Interesting but the videographer could do a better job next time. Much too many unnecessary and jerky movements.
Did the best I could at the time with the equipment I had.
